The best performances tell great stories, a lesson I embraced early in my circus career. With a background in plays and musicals, I understood the importance of bringing words and lyrics to life with precision. However, the circus introduced me to the freedom of expression within a theme, where conveying ideas without words became essential. This shift pushed me to create performances that revolve around simple, logical stories, easily understood by the audience.

​

My theater studies at Colgate University reinforced this approach. There, I learned that the character’s inner life and the clarity of their expression are paramount. This insight guided my work at the National Circus School, where I deepened my ability to convey stories through movement. Each performance, from minor roles to leading characters, is infused with a rich inner life and backstory, ensuring that every gesture communicates the intended emotions and narrative.
